“Out of Our Heads” (Sheryl Crow Cover)

Assistant Editor/site curator note: This post was originally from February 19, 2009. The post doesn’t mention too many “historically inaccurate” information, but still always good to see where things were. Enjoy this latest blast from the past!

Welcome to Thumpin’ Thursday for the first time in a couple of weeks. Here’s a couple of updates for you. My health is much better now after a shaky four days from Wednesday to Sunday last week. The vacation is helping tremendously. Also, i’ve hit 90K views, and I should hit the 6 digit mark in the near near future!

Tonight I have a brand new cover song for you. It’s a song that I have yet to see anybody cover, or post the chords too. The song is by Sheryl Crow, and it’s a single off her album “Detours”. The song “Out of Our Heads” shares the title of a Rolling Stones’ album. However, the song is drastically different. It’s also very catchy, and unfortunately it’s hard to capture the catchiness in an acoustic cover.

The hardest part for me is the fact I had to figure this song out on my own. I’ve never been very good at transcribing guitar chords by ear. I used to make MIDI files for a couple of Final Fantasy games in my teenage years, and I got good at picking out individual instruments and tracking those for the MIDI. I also could figure out bass riffs, but i’d use those bass riffs to figure out guitar parts, which worked for a fair amount of the time.

So what you’re watching is my transcription of the song. I figured out it was a capo’d song from the music video that Sheryl Crow made. However, the sound I picked up was from a first fretted capo, not a sixth like in the video. Sure, it worked on sixth when I was messing around with it, but it sounded more accurate on 1st.

Here are the chords I transcribed, relative to 1st fret capo.

Verse: Am, F, C, G

Chorus: Am, C, F, C, G

If you have suggestions or changes, please let me know about them. I hope, regardless, you enjoy tonight’s video!
